Spruce

Sweden’s coniferous forest has long been a symbol of unspoiled nature. The land is covered with bilberry, moss and lichen and the oldest trees grow majestically over hundreds of years.

Every year fresh shoots appear, bursting with flavour, which have been used as source of vitamin C in the spring of winter-worn northerners for centuries. SPRUCE is packed with spruce- or juniper shoots handpicked in Högtorp’s organically certified forest in the historical province of Sörmland on the east coast of Sweden.

By extracting the rich flavours of the spruce and juniper shoots into a neutral, warm-pressed rapeseed oil, we can create a pleasurable gastronomic product where the flavour comes from the essential oils of the needles.

Marinated wild reindeer meat, cold-smoked trout and chanterelle mushrooms fried in butter are all hallmark flavours of Sweden. It is to these special flavours that we often want to top with seasoning oil. With a few drops of SPRUCE added freshness and depth of flavour, while the experience of the Nordic is enhanced significantly.
